Abstract: In this research paper the researcher have tried to articulate the training evaluation and its
effectiveness towards the training methods and techniques of employees of corporate sector in Marathwada
region. Training evaluation techniques is collection of data from the employees and evaluation techniques can be
categorized in numerous means. This research paper tried to explore the use of training evaluation methods in
industries specifically in manufacturing industry.
Keywords: Training methods, Training techniques, Training evaluation
I. INTRODUCTION
“Training needs can be identified by deducting the existing skills from the job requirements”. Training is a
performance development process to foster learning new techniques and methods to perform job with fullest
efficiency and effectiveness. Successful training and development program assist the strategic requirement of the
organization and also satisfies the individual needs of the people working in it. Effective training programs also
help the employees to concentrate on their individual career development, which ultimately assists to achieve
organizational short and long run objectives.
According to Lina Vyas (2004)1, evaluation is the most important means to determine the effectiveness of
training, however, other factors — including transfer of learning, ability of the trainer to deliver and trainees to
absorb, ability of the institute and the trainers to recognize the needs and properly address them, and adequate
matching of training package to trainees requirements — also have an influence on the effectiveness of training.
According to Huque A.S and Vyas L (2008)2, training effectiveness may be assessed by considering the results or
evaluation, performance of the trainees and their ability to transfer techniques to their jobs. Training
effectiveness can also be a function of trainee characteristics, training design and contextual factors (Scaduto
Anne, Lindsay Douglas & Chiabur S. Dan, 2008)3. Many organizations are reconsidering their investments in
human resource practices such as training as they begin to recognize that the knowledge, skills, and
competencies of their employees give them an advantage that is difficult for competitors to imitate.
Training effectiveness refers to the process that occurs before, during, and after training to improve the
likelihood that it will have an impact4. The types of outcomes used to evaluate training programs have since been
expanded to include cognitive, affective, and motivational outcomes.

Affective and motivational outcomes include post- training self-efficacy, customer service attitudes, tolerance for
diversity, team commitment and willingness to participate in future training programs. Cognitive outcomes
include technical vitality and contextual knowledge. The real value of training may come not from individual
learning but rather from having employees interact and share ideas that improve manufacturing, service, and
interdepartmental processes.
Training effectiveness refers to the benefits that the company and the trainees receive from training. Benefits
for training may include learning new skills or behaviour. Benefits for the company may include increased sales
and more satisfied customers. A training evaluation measures specific outcomes or criteria to determine the
benefits of the program.
Training outcomes or criteria refer to measures that the trainer and the company use to evaluate training
programs.
Training evaluation refers to the process of collecting the outcomes needed to determine whether training is
effective
Training Evaluation
Evaluation of training effectiveness is the most critical phase in not only assessing thequality of training
imparted but also to see what future changes in training plan should bemade to make it more effective. The
process has both predictive and regulative value.
Training evaluation would also provide vital insights into the existing systems andprocedures prevailing in the
organization. There are not much of consensus amongcorporate managers on how to determine the value of
training. The onus of the TrainingDepartment is to document its efforts and clearly show that it provides a
valuable service to the entire organization.
It is an investment in employee’s productivity and retention by providing for career progression and employees
job satisfaction over the long time. Therefore, the organisation needs to know whether their investment is being
spent effectively or not. For this continuous evaluation, training and development is necessary. Evaluation of
training and development means assessment of the impact of training on trainee’s performance and behavior.
Purpose of Evaluation
Training assessment is completed for an extensive variety of purposes, which can be ordered by and large fewer
than four fundamental headings:
• To enhance the nature of the training preparation as far as the delivery, e.g. mentor, strategies, length of
preparing, the preparation destinations, content, level
• To survey the viability of the general course, coach, training techniques
• To legitimize the course demonstrate that the advantages exceed the expenses
• To legitimize the part of training for spending purposes, in reduction circumstances
Reasons for evaluating Training
Training evaluation4 provides a way to understand the investments that the training produces and provides
information needed to improve training5.

If the company receives an inadequate return on its investment in training, the company will likely reduce its
investment in training or look for training providers outside the company who can provide training experiences
that improve performance, productivity, customer satisfaction, or whatever other outcomes the company is
interested in achieving.
Training evaluation provides the data needed to demonstrate that training does offer benefits to the company.
There can be three specific reasons to evaluate training:
1. To justify the existence and budget of the training department by showing how it contributes to the
organization’s objectives and goals.
2. To decide whether to continue or discontinue the training program.
3. To gain information on how to improve future training programs.
Training program should be evaluated to determine whether they should be continued or else if cost
compensates the benefits, the program should be discontinued or modified.
The most common reason for evaluation is to determine the effectiveness of a program and ways in which it can
be improved. Usually, the decision to continue it has already been made. The question then is, how can it be
improved? We can consider following eight factors:
1. To what extent does the subject content meet the needs of those attending?
2. Is the leader, the one best qualified to teach?
3. Does the leader use the most effective methods for maintaining interest and teaching the desired attitudes,
knowledge, and skills?
4. Are the facilities satisfactory?
5. Is the schedule appropriate for the participants?
6. Are the aids effective in improving communication and maintaining interest?
7. Was the coordination of the program satisfactory?
8. What else can be done to improve the program?
A careful analysis of the answers to these questions can identify ways and means of improving future offerings
of the program. In most of the organizations, both large and small, there is little pressure from top management
to prove that the benefits of training compensate the cost. Many managers at high levels are too busy worrying
about profits, return on investments, stock prices etc. they pay little or no attention to training unless they hear
bad things about it.

II. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
1. To study different methods and techniques for evaluation of the employee training.
2. To study effectiveness of methods and techniques for evaluation of the employee training.
Population
Population of this study includes the employees of the selected companies in the large scale industries i.e.
manufacturing sector in Marathwada region only.
Sample Size
Total no. of employees selected is 500. Sample is being selected through Convenience sampling.
Hypotheses Testing
H1: Questionnaire, Interview and Observation method are more effective than Self-dairies and Self- recording
incident for measuring the training effectiveness.
H2:Evaluation is not based on single method but on a variety of method.
III LITERATURE REVIEW
Plameta, Myers, Gyarmati and Voyer (2011)7 , assessment does not capacity that whether or not education
application works in an enterprise but additionally which education application is exceptionally suitable to the
specific wants and which personnel should be nominated for it under prevailing unique circumstances. The
extent to which the interplay between design and delivery and worker abilities and wishes the more effectiveness
it has. In the absence of education evaluation, one cannot reach to the consequence degree that whether or not
goal has been accomplished or no longer or used to be training program and whether profitable or not? Without
assessment it is not viable to justify the investment in training program. It is the cyclical method and
effectiveness is a part of efficiency. Evaluation is quality way to locate out the effectiveness. It is a non-stop
process, it finds out the purpose.
William J.Rothwell(2010)8The summation of book is an action manual for reinventing the training department
by placing a new emphasis on the myriad ways by which human performance may be enhanced in organizational
setting. The book unlocks the extraordinary potential of Human Performance Enhancement (HPE) which
focuses on how to build a convincing business case for change and assess the competencies the employees need
in their expanded role. It will gather information on the current level of performance in an organization
therefore it will be able to clarify present and future performance gaps and identify the underlying causes of a
performance gap the most important and difficult step in HPE with a focus on both fixing problems and seizing
previously undetected performance enhancement opportunities.
Patricia Pulliam Philips (2017)9The author has enlightened about the evaluation of training program to provide
learning professional a tool to which they can refer as they move forward with measurement and evaluation.
Each step in the training evaluation process is addressed by experts from corporate, non–profit government
entities, and academic institutions, as well as those experts who work with a broad range of organizations.
Measurement and evaluation of training has a place among the critical issues in the learning and development
field.

Since Cochran Skewness test is significant the (p <0.05)
Hence the Null Hypotheses is rejected and is concluded Training evaluation methods and techniques differ in
importance given by organization as pursued by the employees.
To find out where the difference lack, we referred to frequency distribution table and it can see that Feedback
has a major frequency count of 364, followed by Observation = 352 and Questionnaire = 340.
Hence the hypotheses Organisation give more importance to Observation, Feedback and Questionnaire or
other methods and techniques used for evaluation of the employee training survey proved positive.
Method /techniques used in training evaluation
There is a correlation between the Training evaluation and Training effectiveness. Training effectiveness is
measured by applying the proper training evaluation methods for the concerned training program. There are
various methods of training evaluation where assessment of the employee performance is measured and it is
done with the collection of the data, which mostly comprises of their feedback of the training program. Now to
understand the effectiveness of the training evaluation methods detailed aspects have been asked to employees
about the effective factors of the training evaluation methods.
